What is the purpose of a throttle body in reference to a car ? what is the purpose of a fuel injector ?

Question

Which is more important to be handled first trottle body or the fuel injector ?

Answer 1

In a fuel injection engine, the throttle body is the part of the air intake system that controls the amount of air flowing into the engine, in response to driver input. While the accelerator is often called a "gas pedal", it would be more accurate to describe it as an "air pedal".

The throttle body is usually located between the air filter box and the intake manifold, and usually attached to, or near, the mass airflow sensor.

The largest piece inside the throttle body is the throttle plate, which is a butterfly valve that regulates the airflow.

On many cars, the accelerator pedal motion is communicated through the throttle cable, which activates the throttle linkages, which moves the throttle plate. In cars with electronic throttle control (also known as "drive-by-wire"), an electric motor controls the throttle linkages and the accelerator cable connects not to the throttle body but to a sensor. The ECU determines the throttle opening.

When the driver presses on the accelerator pedal, the throttle plate opens up, allowing more air into the intake manifold. Either a throttle position sensor or an airflow sensor measures this change and communicates with the ECU. The ECU then increases the amount of fuel being sent to the fuel injectors in order to maintain the desired air-fuel ratio.

Throttle bodies may also contain valves and adjustments to control the minimum airflow during idle. Even in those units that are not "drive-by-wire" there may be a small electric motor that the ECU uses to modify the throttle opening.

Many cars have a single throttle body, however more than one may be used, chained together by linkages, to improve throttle response. At the extreme end, cars such as the BMW M1 have a separate throttle body for each cylinder.

A throttle body is somewhat analogous to the carburetor in a non-injected engine. Carburetors combine the functionality of the throttle body and the fuel injectors into one, that is, to modulate the amount of air flow, and to combine air and gas together. Cars with throttle body injection (called TBI by General Motors and CFI by Ford) locate the fuel injectors in the throttle body, thereby allowing an older engine to be converted from carburetor to fuel injection without altering significantly the engine design.

Answer 2

The throttle body is the mechanism that controls the volume of air metered into the intake system of the engine.
Your throttle pedal (gas pedal) in most cases is connected to this device by way of hard linkage or by a cable. Some newer vehicles are connected by wire instead, thereby allowing the computer complete control of engine parameters.
Fuel injector is just what it sounds like. The engine control computer dictates how long the fuel injector is turned on, metering the desired amount of fuel. If the engine needs a great deal of fuel for the present conditions, the computer holds the injector on for a longer period of time, allowing more fuel to flow. When less fuel is required, the injector is held on for a shorter period of time.

Hope this clears things up a bit.

Answer 3

The throttle body brings air into the engine. Injectors spray fuel into the combustion chamber. A proper mix of both fuel and air is important. Too much fuel can flood the motor and too much air it won't run right. I would say whichever is in worse shape should be fixed first.

Answer 4

If you could buy a book that could foretell the future thousands of years in advance, if you could buy the most popular book ever written, if you could buy a copy of the first book ever written, if you could buy a book that told you how to farm, how to have faith, how to live and not die, how to love and not hate, how to be healed and not be lame, wouldn't that not only be a book worth buying, but worth reading, studying and learning? You could also think of it as a picture album of the Son of God. The thing is if I showed you a picture album of my son and you were disinterested, I would stop showing you the pictures. That is the same way with the Word of God. If you are not interested, God will not show you the pictures of His son. Just getting through The Book to say you read it, will not impress Him. It will not please Him. Looking for His Son will please Him. And He will show you His Son.
